The photo also shows the Sharry cable, which is unique to the Sharry family, and it not used by other island families. This cable requires the use of 2 cable needles at the same time and creates a unique 3D effect.
This technique is taught by Una McDonagh as part of the knitting tours ran by KnittingTours.com
